      The problem with the research is that it is mostly free living research with a high margin of error, the only decent controlled research is in rats and mice which aren't always the best model for humans. Tim Noakes was involved in a study of 5 cyclists in the 90's and that one seems at best inconclusive. I'm yet to be really convinced. I have tried going low carb for a while and it didn't work for me, I've also tried the other end of the spectrum - where I went about 60% carb...

      ...That didn't work either! I've now settled on about 40% which I've seen reported as a low carb diet, to me its definitely moderate. My ratios are usually 40:30:30 which is about the sweet spot for me. I do try and do at least a couple of easy runs pre-breakfast which should in theory put me close to ketogenic, and I try and do a very low fueled long run once a month. This seems to keep me out of trouble but its still definitely a work in progress. Good luck with your own self experimentation!

      Benefits of LC seem to hit critical mass around the 6 month mark for most people before turning around. The next 6 they spend defending their choice as they begin slipping backward. It'll be interesting to see what unfolds for him in the months to come.

      JS, I really hope you know I'm not trying to bust your balls. I know you're a smart guy. That's the cycle I've seen having been embedded in the Paleo/LC world for the last 4 years. I feel obligated to speak up with all the imploded "help me" emails I've received. Keto/LC causes metabolic nightmares and/or eating disorders.

      P.S. that who paleo culture is nothing but smoke and mirrors. I cannot good conscious recommend anyone read anything about it. Sad, because the main idea behind it "eat real food" is diluted by an ocean of total BS.

      Deborah - my understanding is that only excess ketones are excreted, so if you're exercising, they should all be burned. I'll play around with some comparisons of the blood/urine/sweat and see what happens.

      Cj - it's pretty easy to build a case for or against either high carb or low carb. The science is ambiguous and complex, as you might expect from something like nutrition and exercise.

      I've found that 95+ is generally great for running, ~80 is tough, and below 70 sucks badly. I'm not sure if that applies to everyone though. How to fuel before running is one of the most complex and confusing topics I've read up on.

      I did a 54 miler on a stepper/elliptical thing like three years ago when I was a low-carber on similar stuff. I used a bit of macca power, shredded coconut, and spirulina. The fat was from coconut milk.

      Amazing I survived. If you feel inclined to keep doing this, I'd ditch the PUFA laden corn/canola oil and stick to the saturated and monounsaturated fats of the coconut and olive oils.

      Also done half marathon stuff on like boiled eggs and crap when I was a zero carber. Heart burn galore.

      I'll try and remember to find you some stuff on why Steve's science is junk science. Time for bed right now.

      I more than anyone can appreciate your n=1 stuff, since I do the same, but keto training was one of the worst ideas ever. Terribly stressful on the body (keto is in general). Ultra exercise is stressful enough. No reason to compound that. It catches up later.
